IT'S ALIVE!!!

 

Awesome, sounds good, now for the first drive.

 

Sounds F'N sweet!!!! How much power??

 

Won't know for a week or two. We justwanted to start it to test electrical mods and fuel pump. Still need to tune carb, get a tune for the ECU (to remap or turn off parameters), and find mufflers that are louder but not so loud that the cops take excessive notice.

 

What happened to being mad at us and not posting updates?

 

Oh wow, you've got a real engine now!

 

I admit it - This is more to thumb my nose at the haters than anything else.

 

It sounds grrrrreat, jsimmonstx!!

It's almost comical how much room there is in the S197 engine bay when a pushrod engine is installed in there!

 

Flowmasters 40 series are the bomb with the push rod engines but it requires to be mounted before the axle so it's a bitch on the S197 since the gas tank takes all the room.
I had a customer do that to his GT (he retained the 4.6 3v) but he had to put a fuel cell in the trunk to get the room needed.
It did sound real good, not like a pushrod but still...

Oh, and congrats Simmon.
